Keira Knightley did all her own stunts in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'.The British actress was so keen to swash some buckles she begged the director, Gore Verbinski, for more fight scenes.She told BANG Showbiz: "I loved it. I wanted more action in this film. I was desperate to have sword fights all the way through. They did give me one but I don't think I was very good because I didn't get as many as I thought I would. "I really do love action and I do think that if you're doing an action film you should do as much of the action as possible."Last week, Keira revealed she almost turned down a part in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series.The actress was concerned about taking the part of plucky damsel-in-distress Elizabeth Swann because the movie was based on a theme park ride.She said: "I was like, 'Wait a minute, you're doing a pirate movie, something that hasn't worked in about 50 years, and it's based on an amusement park ride?!"
